NZ-ON-AIR VIDEO RANTS
In the recent NZ-ON-AIR video applications, nine of the 33 proposals were approved. "The demand is huge," said Programme Manager Brendan Smyth. "That is a really healthy sign for New Zealand music but because we have limited funds, it does mean we have to pace ourselves."
The artists who received grants were: Sattelite Spies 'lt Must Be Love' (Andromedia) Pat Urlich 'Love Chains' (Edge) Straitjacket Fits 'Done' (Flying Nun) Dribbling Darts of Love 'Hey Judith' (Flying Nun) Warratahs 'Walking the Tightrope' (Pagan) Semi's MCs ' 'Trust Me' (Second Nature) Upper Hutt Posse 'Ragga Girls' (Tangata) Annie Crummer & Herbs 'See What Love Can Do' (Warners) Shona Laing 'Thief to Silver' (Sony) In the Evening Post Brendan Smyth defended the conservative recent selection: "We're in the broadcasting business, not in the music business or the talent development business. Our objective, and the end result for us, must be something on television. "One day hopefully, there will be a greater range of programmes
on television which will allow us to fund a wider range of projects."
